Watch live: McCarthy holds news conference
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is slated to hold a press briefing Friday morning.
House Republicans earlier rolled out their new plan for a short-term spending bill Friday that would hold off a government shutdown for now.
The plan, dubbed the Spending Reduction and Border Security Act, would extend funding through the end of October, but impose across-the-board cuts of about 30 percent — with exemptions for national defense, the departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, and for funding designated disaster relief.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
